We don't need moments of silence in Congress.

We need hours of shouting angrily, followed by legislation that actually accomplishes something in reducing the horrors of gun violence.

1. You're demanding that Congress cease being the House of Cowardice.

What do you expect them to do? Act reasonably?

We are entering into the politics of the Dark Ages. Politicians are as much beset by fear and loathing as the rest of the Trumpy Fan Base. And voting won't help because the entire voting process is controlled by the GOP. I'll be one amazed citizen if a close race in Virginia results in a Democratic victory. If the election is close, the GOP will steal votes and win.

3. Yes. I am.

2. Silence is what the NRA pays for and rather handsomely at that. Gives

new meaning to the phrase, "silence is golden" as they back up the money truck to the congressional receiving dock.

4. So it appears.

5. We have permanent silence from Congress so adding a moment is overkill.
